This request is for records concerning how the FBI would react to a government shutdown, in a case such as where congress removes funding from the FBI in total or in part.
With the recent budget debates in the executive and legislative branches, many government agencies have created records documenting policies and procedures in the case of a loss of funding (temporary or permanent and total or partial). It is reasonable to expect the FBI to have such contingency plans.
Please conduct a search for these records.
